This is a Rumi Poem I enjoy.. called "Your Defects"
"An empty mirror and your worst destructive habits,
when they are held up to each other,
thats when the real making begins.
That's what are and crafting are.
A tailor needs a torn garment to practice his expertise.
The trunks of trees must be cut and cut again
so they can be used for fine carpentry.
Your doctor must have a broken leg to doctor.
Your defects are the ways that glory gets manifested"
Another friend send me these words.. for me this means that I trust Presence, which is my True Self and subject, to intelligently heal, transform and bring wisdom, more than I trust my mind and its habitual stories.. and the more I trust Presence, the more it becomes my only foundation and the more I recognize its nature to be Love, which is what I was always seeking..
"How quickly the tranformation occurs when i can see what is underneath negation of what is.....
For i am very secure in the truth that love is the foundation of all that is true, sane, and enduring....Now
i needed to see that hatred was the foundation of all that was unreal, insane and illusory....that which never was....
I hope this is not too heavy but wanted to share if for the deeper i grasp it the greater the liberation and opening....."
Love
